Hot Toys' Avengers: Age of Ultron: Artist Mix Figures Designed by Touma

I seriously peed my pants here, I am no ashamed to admit it … the reason: TOUMA DOES THE AVENGERS, and that's all you need to know! And oh yes, Hot Toys is making them too … here's a tissue to wipe away your drool/pee-stain (I can relate…). Further availability details will be updated when I have them, and I am SERIOUS gagging for these - having been (and still is) a fan of Touma-san's designs, with this Super-Deformed adaption of Iron Man, Captain America, Hulkbuster and the cutest human-enslaving robot ever depicted here: ULTRON! LOL

TOUMA is brilliant, and you should get to know his work soon, if you do not already have. Check out images and press featured below, or head on HERE on Facebook to see them in their individual splendor!

HOT TOYS PRESS: "Hot Toys is expanding its product line yet again to bring more diversity to fans, and today we are very excited to present the new Artist Mix Collection series! As the name suggests, Hot Toys will collaborate with different artists and designers from various spectrums to re-imagine movie characters in a special art form with unique style.

To kick-off the Artist Mix Collection, Hot Toys is joining hands with famous Japanese toy artist Touma* and introducing a number of Artist Mix Figures based on one of the biggest movies of 2015 - Marvel’s Avengers: Age of Ultron!

This first series will include Iron Man Mark XLIII, Captain America, Hulkbuster, Ultron Prime, and two versions of Ultron Sentry! Each Artist Mix Figure has a bobble-head and stands approximately 14cm tall (Hulkbuster stands approximately 20cm tall) and perfectly combines the movie characters’ designs with Touma’s distinctive art style!"

HOT TOYS PRESS: "In celebrating the launch of this new collectible series, a deluxe set will be available that includes the powerful Hulkbuster and Mark XLIII (Battle Damaged Version) which is exclusive to this figures set. These Artist Mix Figures will look great on your shelves or desk, so don’t miss the chance to expand your Marvel’s Avengers: Age of Ultron collection!"

ABOUT TOUMA: "Touma is a Japanese toys character designer. He started his career at a video game company 10 years ago. In 2001, he established his own workshop and started to become a figurine artist. He had his solo exhibitions and autograph sessions not only in Japan, but also in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore and America. He collaborated with many major brands such as MONSTER HUNTER, STAR WARS, TRANSFORMERS, AVP, GODZILLA, POWER RANGERS, and more.

Recently, Touma and his 3D animation partner Shiroma collaborated with Hot Toys for the first time to ignite the Artist Mix Collection series to further expand the diversity of mini figures collection. The series is based on the 2015 Marvel Studios blockbuster, Avengers: Age of Ultron, which perfectly blends the iconic characters with Touma’s unique design style."

Also coming in November are the second series (Series 1) of Wonder Woman Pop!Vinyls - with this wave featuring Diana disguised in her cloak, Etta Candy wielding the God-Killer and Wonder Woman’s shield, and Themyscira’s greatest warrior, Antiope! ”Don’t miss out on the Hot Topic exclusive Diana with Ice Cream Pop!”

“Doctor Strange” appears in this Japanese Trailer for THOR: RAGNAROK, and everybody goes wild! Nah, not necessarily so, but you decide for yourself - in the first few seconds, then everything else we’ve seen before in the SDCC-released trailer, though the end scene with Thor and Hulk bro-chatting is slightly edited to accommodate the good Doctor, I presume … Courtesy of @MarvelStudios, we also have the new Japanese Poster for #ThorRagnarok to gawk at!

THOR: RAGNAROK premieres 3rd of November 2017 in the USA, but is scheduled for release in Singapore on the 26th of October 2017!

No doubt the scene continues from the ending of Marvel’s Doctor Strange film (see clip below), where Strange sits down with the Odinson and chats about his missing father (“Odin”) over a glass of self-sustaining mead AKA “beer”.

This A2-sized print on “metallic” surface card was a surprise find at the recent Artist Market for Illustration Arts Fest 2017, as I was asking for the print image seen on her Instagram (see below), which were (and still is now) available on white-base A3 prints too - which you will find on her online store now … or go bug her direct (erikartoon@gmail.com) for availability! (Tell her TOYSREVIL SENT YOU, so I can score some fanboy brownie-points, thanks!)

Counting down the literal days to the premier of Marvel’s THE DEFENDERS on Netflix, August 18th, we have a couple of videos to share, in anticipation! First up is the above “Final Trailer” for the 13-episode, while featured below is a featurette meant to hype the show, which certainly worked for ME, because I’m hella HYPED for this weekend!

Unveiled are images of actor Josh Brolin in full costume as “Cable” in the upcoming “DEADPOOL 2” live action feature film = a sequel to the wildly successful R-Rated first film! Also seen here are snaps of actress Zazie Beetz as “Domino”, released earlier last week, as PopcornX attempts to feature BOTH these fictional comicbook characters now made reel!

To be directed by David Leitch (co-director “John Wick”, “Atomic Blonde”), “Deadpool 2” is scheduled to be released on June 1, 2018 … BUT the hype machine and anticipation has begun way before this reveal (with No Good Deed), and is a juggernaut waiting to be unleashed upon pop culture again! LOL

Scroll down for a closer-look at both characters, including their comicbook origins!

WHO-IS “CABLE”: "Cable (Nathan Summers) is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics, commonly in association with X-Force and the X-Men. The character first appeared as a newborn infant in Uncanny X-Men #201 (Jan.…

New poster (with English text) for “Tokyo Ghoul” (thanks to natalie.mu), along with character stills for the upcoming live-action adaptation of Sui Ishida’s manga and anime, as directed by Kentarō Hagiwara!

And while we’ve had a chance to see the primary actors/roles in the earlier released teaser, here we get to see the other supporting actors, including Ken’s buddy “Hide”, and folks from tge “Anteiku” cafe - including “Yoshimura”, “Renji”, “Enji” (Devil Ape), “Kaya” (Black Dog), “Uta”! Not forgetting the young girl-Ghoul; “Hinami”!

Marvel turns on their faux-time-machine and pulls out two retrolicious video promos to hawk promote the upcoming release of "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" to Digital Aug 8, Blu-ray Aug 22 & new to 4K UHD, with the above 70s-Disco music video for “Guardians Inferno” by The Sneepers, featuring David Hasselhoff (Directed by David Yarovesky), which if you strayed for the credits roll of the feature film, would undoubtably recognise (if you were too busy looking for the 5 x post-credits sequences, yeah? :p) … and if you missed the earlier 80’s-styled promo featured below (like I did miss posting it yonks back when it dropped), well, ENJOY!
